Venu Sriram talked to a local media house about the film, Vakeel Saab. He said, “I never dreamt of getting an opportunity to direct such a star like Pawan Kalyan, so early in my career.” He continued, “I love the way he respects everyone and he never even casually insults any person. He loves to connect with people who love reading like him. His first question is always, “What book did you read?” Looking at him from a distance and from very close, makes you realise how much you can learn from him!”
He stated that Vakeel Saab was supposed to be written by Trivikram Srinivas but the famous writer-director couldn’t as he was busy with Ala Vaikuntapurramuloo, back in the day, when film shoot was in planning stages. He made a promise fans that the film will be a PSPK film and even though it is remake of Pink, the team wants to make it an experience for fans.
